Final Map

Wow, Scottish and Welsh independence have come a long way, looking at that map :-D

On a serious note, I know I didn't take part in this poll (not intentionally, I only saw it in the last day or two and it seemed to be over then anyway) and there are 4 working amigas here...

Add one more to the north west ;-D

Bah!!!!

:-o :-o

Interesting result. Its a shame the figure is so small, if I was optimistic I would say you could double that figure for the amount of possibly interested Amiga users. Especially with the MAC going non-ppc and when OS4 gets released it *could* generate some interest (with the right apps).

Nothing wrong with being optimistic as long as you're realistic :-D

It would be interesting if we knew the figures for say Europe. Although I would have said the UK had one of the largest amount of Amiga users, who knows.

Surely, the likes of Eyetech, Hyperion, Genesi etc have had to do some market research even for a 'enthusiast' market?

You can add another one to the south east. I didn't know about this poll.

I expect there's probably plenty TBH. I know a few people who are rarely inclined to take part in any kind of online poll.

:getmad:

They would be as good :-D

Mikey_C · 06-13-2005, 08:23 AM

Yeah well those people are probably the first to whine that they can't find x or y, won't attend amiga shows and to be honest do nothing positive towards the Amiga community.

As it says at the top, ACTIVE amiga users :-)

To paraphrase the great man himself, JFK, "Ask not what your platform can do for you, but what you can do for your platform"

And if they can't be bothered to vote by clicking on one tiny little button.....

My mate Toby has an Amiga and he lives on the Isle of Wight, but he doesn't use Amiga Forums... oh any my mate William, he now lives in Wimbledon with his little A1200...

And I've now got a 12" Powerbook G4.

Nah, I reckon Germany and the Netherlands probably have more than the UK.

Sweden seems to have a few too, just looking at the people here and on aw.net.

@Karlos

Yes, agreed, UK has gone from being second in the world for numbers of Amiga users, to third rate. As I said, I reckon sweden and germany now have more users. Not sure about Netherlands though

I dunno if that is entirely fair comment. The guys I know simply don't frequent forums in general. That doesn't mean they don't use or care about their machines. Also they don't moan about shows because they rarely know when/where they are since they don't frequent the forums to find out ;-)

I just thought of the Netherlands due to all the Groningers here :-D
